Rotor Inspider issue

KilianD

Hi, I have a new Rotor Inspider power meter. It seems to pair ok with the Edge 530 and calibrate correctly, but then when I am riding it reads zero on the head unit, so it is not recording power etc. Anyone have any ideas?

    I have the same issue with my Edge 1040 solar. The powermeter display the correct power when I connect it to the Rotor app via bluetooth, but reads zero on my Garmin.

    Have you sorted out your problem. I have the same thing happening with my 520 unit. The closer the unit is to PM the better it is

    Same problem here with my 1040 solar. The Inspider and 1040 is Connecticuts, but  No power is shown.

    Hi, Have you tried to update the INspider ? There is now an easy feature with Rotor App released early December: you can update powermeters from the App. Otherwise, this issue should be solved by returning the Inspider to the distributor.

    and will it measure the power already accurate with this update? :) (all is high as f...)  The Rotor can build good cranks, but avoid their pmeters...

    How far from the true power are you from ? (let's say VS a SRM) .

    According to my experience with Inspider, this product should provide accurate data on the long term, even with a low number of calibrations. 

    What I have noticed is that I can get a 1-3% accuracy with this product, but it seems there are sometimes products that don't get close to these figures.

    Previously I had a 2INpower 1st generation and data used to be a little bit generous in sprint. 

    There is also one interesting way to identify a problem: when data are note accurate, the OCA data are often wrong. And for Rotor riders it's easy to identify.

    The process is: calibrate-update firmware and if the update is not leading to accurate data, powermeter must be inspected by distributor in the country.

    apprx 5% higher as a reference value (the SRM is far from the reference in 2023/2024...) , and not so consistent so the difference is moving up and down strongly. the 2InPower a lot better, but the 1st gen (early models) is high too (the worst is the single-sided InPower), i dont know what is the actual situation the latest produced one (if it is still produced or not...)

    If somebody needs reliable spider-based powermeter, then Power2Max NG ->NGEco->AXS (and there are a few chinese one), it is the order (by accuracy and by recommandation).

    since 10 years a good spider-based powermeter DOESNT need manual-calibration because has auto solution .

    i know that a firmware upgrade cant solve it, i tried to joking :D
